- Set a default CPU/BUS speed at startup.
- Set a default brightness level at startup.
- Enable brightness button to go to the max level for psp slim.
- Fully configurable via a configuration file.

INSTALLATION
============

- Copy the content of the "PSP_FAT_371" or "PSP_SLIM_371" folder to the root of your memory stick.
- Take a look at the file "cfe.config" under "ms0:/seplugins" to adjust to your needs.
- Enable cfe_vsh.prx and cfe_game.prx under the m33 recovery menu.
- Set cpu speed to default under the m33 recovery menu.
- Push "Note + Volume Up" on the psp to see available commands.

USAGE
=====

* To use usbhost iso streaming : You must set your "UMD Mode" to "OE isofs legacy"
via the m33 recovery menu. After executing usbhostfs_pc on the computer,
type "Note + L" on the psp. Note that you must create a folder ISO where you launch usbhostfs_pc
and put your isos here.

If you have some problems to load/save game while using usbhost iso redirection,
you must copy the provided file "savedata_auto_dialog.prx", "savedata_plugin.prx"
and "savedata_utility.prx" from the "save_modules" folder to your
"flash0:/vsh/module" directory.

* To record an in-game video on psp fat : On the computer, go to the folder
"windows\remotejoy_gui" then launch "start.bat"

On the PSP, load a game or homebrew, then push the capture button combo (default is NOTE/TRIANGLE).
It seems the psp will hang if you do this before a game save is loaded.
Best is to do this when you really are in game.

Go back to the computer, in the SDL windows push "c" on your keyboard to start capturing.

Each frames will be saved as bmp in the capture folder. Note that you must have a lot of free space on your hdd,
and this one must work at a descent speed or you may loose some frames.

Now you just have to encode the *.bmps using you favorite encoder (VirtualDub will do the job by loading the first bmp).

* For other functions, press "Note + Volume Up" on the PSP to show available commands.

KNOW BUGS
=========

- Waiting for reports.

- Option to load UsbMass storage at stratup is back.
- Only one usbhost iso streaming method for now (no umd required).
